'Do you want to go again, Miss Hershey?'
| he asked, as they rode home after dainty
! lunch.
''Yes. indeed. ] have enjoyed the day i'm
| menseIy; but must be there at the nomination.
| don't see how l can go, though, for Uncle
Jack has only the one ticket, and, of course, I
| should not be selfish enough to mOnopoiZe it,
''IOu shall have one OF mine if you will take
it, and let me take you. l haye several at my
command. Will you 90 to-morrow"'
Alice jumped at the opportunity, all fear of
| Mr.. Ender's criticism having vanished. She at
tended every session, was present during the
memorable excitement of the nomination, when
| for few moments, the decision trembled in
the balances, and Hendricks, by virtue of Tam
many cheers, ''amost prevailed" After the
| overwhelming excitement of the closing session
she came out into the fresh air ''a good, white
Republican, stronger than she had ever been
before; and she knew now some reasons why
Mr.. Enders escorted her home. and fingered
on the steps. His usually soft, languishing
| voice really sounded more manly than it ever
had before. Whether it was because he was
hoar>e from shouting or not, Alice could not at
first determine, but she afterwards decided in
the negative.
II have several things to say to you, Miss
Alice. In the first place, want you to under
stand that you alone are responsible for one of
the pleasantcst experiences of my life. my at
tendance at this Convention and my interest in
it. 1t had not occurred to NE to exert myself
to pay any attention to it, to politics, until
on going to the Palmer House the other morn
ing on business, saw your interested face.

curiosity than anything else. made disparaging
remarks on strong minded women, for which
humbly beg your pardon. | listened with Il
Sneer to hear you explain some points to the
lady next you, and saw that you had clearer
understanding Of the matter than had myself.

would accept. have been with you. and have
become thoroughly aroused. | feel ashamed
that have never been a man in the matter be

'.Do Won mean to say I've made Il Democrat
of you?' cried Alice with alarm.

and education. Hereafter mean to he what

-Alice-Will YOU hclp mc?'
''les.'' said Alice denurely, ''wc will study
and learn together"
The demonstration that followed was not a
| public one.
